Camcorder focus problem

Return it to the repair shop

It sounds like you are either too close to the subject or you need to flip the focus switch to automatic.
The Auto/Manual focus button is located on the left side of the camcorder under the LCD monitor flap.
Other than that, does this happen only in low light? The camera will have trouble focusing in low light usually.

The E61 is an internal error code shown when the motor is not moving. I will look up the specific details when I get to the shop and update this with the required fix.

Its need to replace ccd base assy

if your not afraid to work on. first open cam take battery off once the tape loader is open. reseat all the ribbon cables gonig to the lcd.

My LCD screen has also malfunctioned - some-one else has also posted a similar problem and has been told its to do with a carbon cable connecting the LCD screen to the camera that needs replacing.
Not sure about the viewfinder problem - is there a control to adjust the focus, or is that what you mean by the viewfinder lever?

Hi,
My reply is bit technical. Your camera requires Flang-Back Adjustment.
Above said adjustment will set focus lenses in correct order / position to obtain crispy focus as it was before.
There are few special tools designed by Sony used in Flang-Back adjustment and only Sony Service Centers can perform such adjustments. Non-Sony repair shops do not have such things.
Just for reference, below view shows required tools for adjustments in this model.



Need further info let me know please.

If it is not a setting problems, and if the black and white is only on LCD and not on picture, then it is a problem with the LCD. Probably just the ribbon cable not well inserted into the connector.
Camera must be taken apart to fix this problem. Better to have the job done by a technician at a camera repair shop.

the flex wire of the lcd monitor have a cut line that why when you hit the camcorder sometimes it working...go to the service center for repairing or replacing the flex wire.....

Just to check - give the manual a read through but I suspect this is a component failure and needs a repair job.
